The grave was already placed there in Elwynn, the headstone been updated. It does look nicely done.
Technical question, perfect for Wowhead: where do I get that candle toy?Also: beautiful documentary, animation masterwork, awesome human beings.
Oh thank goodness those toxic comments got deleted, holy heck can some people be horrendously mean.Honestly I love to see Blizzard memorializing highly impactful players with their stories like this. Sadly there are so many people who are enduring great suffering that find thankfully do find some solace in the World of Warcraft and the bonds and friendship they share. Bonds of love have even been forged in this game. So many stories are people finding love in this game, even going as far as getting married in and out of the game.It really is "The World" of Warcraft.
I am grown ass man. But I cried...a lot during that documentary. As a person who has been playing WoW through happy and not so happy times...it resonated a lot with me.
wow community used to be awesome, until normies and tourist ruined it. as they ruin pty much anything
I wonder how many people like him play WoW but just fade away, with nobody remembering them. Depressing...
The first few minutes of the documentary hit me hard. Now that I have a daughter of my own (1.5 years old), I can truly feel the pain of facing the possibility of having a child with Duchenne disease.
Watched it and it is very well done. Seeing his mother talk brought me to tears. She truly deeply loved him. And he was one of US. Here, in the game, he could play and be like us. The accessibility inside the game is extremely important. There are many people in the world that cannot be everything they want to be. Here, in the game, they can walk. They can run. They can play, alone, with friends. And most of all : be like everyone else. And all of them never tell us they have a handicap. In the game, they are free like when they are dreaming.The movie is a nice hommage. Now, we all know Ibelin. And there are many more Ibelins in the game and in this world. And every single of of them should be able to join us, and play with us and forget the IRL life to feel free, and happy. Life is already a mess as it is.
The trailer alone made me tear up. I can't wait to watch it....I wish that the people in my own life who insist that online friendships "aren't real" could be made to watch it. As someone who found their own spouse through WoW (we met in Arathi Basin, back in BC, and have been together for over a decade now with four lovely children), it was shocking just how many times I had to defend the idea of meeting someone in a game and considering them a real friend.Real people are behind the pixels. The interactions aren't scripted AI. Thank you, those that made Ibelin's story for the masses for putting that into some format that non-gamers perhaps can understand.
That is a lovely ingame memorial. Would have loved to have something similar ingame for my late husband that died of cancer this year. We met through WoW and played for years together. 💔
